Thanks Don.... Photography is purely a hobby to me and I get satisfaction and enjoyment from the whole process from start to finish, but only if I feel like I've done a good enough job, so the problem can be that if I'm seeing significantly differing end results depending where I view it, that...

Thanks... That's an interesting measure between a calibrated screen and ipad brightness. I read suggestions online as high as 80% but started myself at 70% but lately have gone down to 55% and 50%. I'll give 40% a try and see how I get on.

Thanks for the response... I don't have an "ultra contrasty" style that I'm trying to achieve but I do want a certain amount of contrast and in this instance so that the subject stands out a little bit from the background. This wasn't actually an overcast day, it was a clear and slightly frosty...

From what I've read online it appears that the ipad pro screen is supposed to be pretty accurate straight out of the box.

Thanks for the reply... And yes I'm coming to the conclusion that the ipad screen is almost too good/bright/contrasty etc. I've tried different brightness settings and now leaning towards setting it at 50 percent. I find it confusing because so many photographers now seem to really rate the...

This is a screenshot of the image downloaded to my phone with the histogram information, but unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible) I'm not sure if the histogram will tell me how much contrast the subject part of the image has. Histogram by NPUK, on Flickr

Thanks Wayne

Hi... I have been having some problems lately when post processing images so would just like to get other people's perspective, using the photo below as a specific example. Please could you give your opinion specifically regarding contrast / shadows / highlights etc. A bit of background to why...

That's a bit thought provoking... It's often said that a good photo generates more questions than answers and this certainly does that. Not least, was the guy in the process of, or about to say something to you ?

The first one is superb.

Having just stumbled across this thread, I started reading a few of the early posts and found comments about inspiration vs copying etc. Not wanting to go down that conversation rabbit hole but I think there's a difference that I can relate to very well.... When I first became a photography...

Thanks.... I love the place too, Mam Tor, Winnats Pass plus Bamford Edge just down the road. I live about 75 minutes away so although not a huge distance away, it's enough to deter me sometimes. Probably not a great place to get a two year old up to but give it another few years and that could...
